THE nHEIm CuAHIvARI.
Ghnphic Account OF the
Screnade by the Victim.

Screnade by the Victim.
Virginia Chronicle.
Matt Rheim, the victim OF the Divide
ohsriyari serenade made the follow
ing statement to the Chronicle last even
ing:
"The report that I married Miss Ho-
failing ia not true. She is keeping house
for me and this gave rise to the m
| On Monday evening I heard the boys
| intended 10 charivari me on the strength
| OF the report that I had married her. At
| frat I Thought seriously of fleeing to a
| p~osition on the side Of Mount Davidson
| where l could see the fun safe from per-
| sonsl ANNOYANCE, but fearing that ii the
ohsrivarians found my house ~untenanted
| they would tear it down, l concluded to
| remain at home and face the music.
"Just at midnight the ball opened by
| the striking Of eight bells on what seemed
| TO be about 1000 mining gongs. Tit
| din of unearthly sounds that followed
| was the most defeaning and hair.raising
| ever heard. / opened the door and
| invited the charivari party to enter
| the house and partake OF liquor refresh
| ments.
emo second invitation was needed.
In an instant the premises were filled
| and the roof covered with . mass OF hu.
| manity, swarming like the locusts OF
| Egypt and yelling like fends. The beer
| and other liquid refreshments had pro-
| vided disappeared in the twinkling OF an
| eve, and from midnight to 3 O'Clock IN
| the morning l had three shifts on the road
| between the house and brewery bringing
| beer 10 pour down the throats OF my
| noisy guests, whose thirst seemed un-
| quenchable.
"Finally when the beer gave out the
crowd became slightly boisterous. Every
article OF crockery and glassware in the
| house, including the mirrors and WIN
| dows, was smashed and the floor OF the
psrlor strewed knee deep with the debris.
The boys carried the stove out OF doors
and sent it tumbling down the ravine.
The contingent on the roof tore off the
shingles and, descending, plsyfully
smashed the sooty stovepipe over my
head, and 1t was only by the most earnest
~entreaties that I prevented my gentle
guests from sending my residence with
It's occupants tumbling down into the
rsvine in the wake OF the stove.
"No, didn't get married. and I don't
think I shall, at least in this part OF the
State" was the concluding remark OF Mr..
Rheim, as he took his departure.

As things are now in San Francisco, l
can say without reservation that a man
Of wealth can commit any crime he
pleases-no matter how infamous-and
be certain of entire immunity. 1t seems
o monstrous proposition to advance in
cold blood, but let US apply the test OF
an illustration; Suppose that Morrow,
instead of merely trying to rob Mrs.
Wright, had killed her husband with a
pistol, because he wanted a record IS a
killer. A howl of public Indignation
would have been raised and kept up for
months. But a servile District Attor-
ney and a complainant Judge would have
delayed his trial until some fresh horror
attracted public attention, and then ne
would have been brought to trial. He
would have able lawyers; Justice, only
the District Attorney to plead her cause.
A bought deputy sheriff would have
picked up a friendly jury, and there have
been no one to protest, and the jury
wouldlhave brought in q verdict on the
plea of extraordinarily or any other aid
to infamy that Morrow's attorneys chose
to select for an excuse. No mans life or
property is safe to-day in San Francisco
from one who has m%oneyand understands
how to use it to corrupt the ministers OF
justice. A dozen years ago a man who
would openly talk about corrupt courts
would be regarded as infamous; to-day
the man in San Francisco who would
deny their existence would be regarded
as idiotic. Correspondent Stockton

The Iron Trade RericW, OF Cleveland,
declares. editOrially. that ''the substitution
of oil or gas for coal has come TO be recog-
nized as a thing of the near future" We
quote as follows from the Rcriclc's article
on this subject:
The heat units of crude petroleum have
been enormously stated 10 be -. .J3l. The
fact is that the correct figure, 20. 2lO heat
units. has been repeatedly arrived AT of
late, after many tests with the best inStru-
ments 10 be obtained for that purpose. In
comparing the calOrifc properties of petro-
leum with coal it must be borne in mind that
with coal there is an enormous waste of
matter. such as sulphur, slate and
earthly substances. which are prac-
tically incombuStible. and which
do not add in the generation of heat. While
coal theoretically contains about Il. 800 heat
units. that figure is by reason OF these i'm
purities reduced to about 5000. Pure car
bon-charcoal. for instance-cOntain
IA, 500 heat units. Considering. therefore.
the imperceptibe waste in the burning of
oil and the excessive waste in the burning
of coal. the conclusion is reached that
while theoretically the relative proportion
of heat evolved in the combustion of oil
compared with coal is as 20.2 is 10 l4.3, the
proportion practically considered. is in IA
yor of oil as l9 Is to :. or ; at the furth-
est We may quite safely assume, then.
that the heating capacity Of oil is considera-
bly, more than twice that of coal. as far as
now shown.

The fashionable fad for diseases over
here, while waiting for insomnia la reign
supreme. is malaria. II supplanIed in
digestion, just as Indigestion supplanted
nerves. In France the moral oT mental
result of this real or imagined fad is called
ennui, which is entirely iHtrligible,
though too illusive 10 be confined tO the
narrow limits of translation or definition.
Physicians encourage the idea Of malaria
II agrees with the preconceived theories OF
patients. Ii lays the blame on locality or
plumbers and takes the blame oil the in
dividual'S late hours and Incorporate
meals. 1t puts the responsibility on cir
cumstances and acquits the patient. II
inpeaches nature and excuses the nOn-ob-
servance of her laws.
Apropos of malaria an assembly over
here, equally composed of physicians and
clergymen, was startled by an after din
ner speaker whom they would call ont the
other evening, when he gravcly described
malaria as the cause of all diseases and
deliberately showed, To his own satisfaction
at least-and backed it with many plausi-
ble arguments-that of malaria the cause
was poor preaching! He drew parallel
between the symptoms of malaria and the
various conditions and attitudes through
which man went in going to sleep in
church. The prevalence of malarial com
plants in country regions where the
preaching is poor and summer visitors
abound, was dwelt upon. When the
speaker finished it was difficult to tell
whether the clergymen or the doctors
were more laughingly indignant
